Winery's Notes
"We have been making this wine from the same two rows of organically farmed grapes at McGinley Vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley since 1998. In this 2024 bottling, the aromatics are intense with citrus blossoms and lemon. There’s great depth of fruit without compromising the flowery and herbal qualities we love from McGinley. The finish is flecked with savory herbs and fine mineral grit.
McGinley Sauvignon Blanc is always super food-friendly; it complements the saltiness of fresh oysters or urchin, the direct earthiness of fresh salads, and pretty much anything with goat cheese. It also works wonders as an enlivening glass while preparing dinner."

"Barrel-fermented without malolactic conversion, the 2024 Sauvignon Blanc McGinley is a solid representation of Happy Canyon Sauvignon Blanc. It opens with a grassy bouquet featuring grapefruit aromas and a subtle tropical note, introducing an oily palate and a lush finish." -ML, 11/6/25

"The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc McGinley Vineyard is crisp, clean and direct, with a squeaky-clean profile of orange peel, crushed rocks and grapefruit pith. Very lively and direct." -BN, Aug/2025
